This study was attempted to explore planning data for the direction of creating outer spaces in elementary schools by grasping the actual state of use of outer spaces in elementary schools and measuring and comparing students' requirements for the degree of need for outer space educational environments. To this end, through a student survey, the degree of need for an external space educational environment was measured, and students' requirements for individual attributes were analyzed. As a result of analyzing these, schools with relatively well-established external space playgrounds and divided areas for low, middle, and high school grades showed relatively high frequency of external space use. Factors influencing students' requirements for the degree of need for outer space were identified in the order of the amount and quality of sports and play equipment in the playground and surrounding spaces (f1), the playground grandstand and roof, the track requirement (f2), the size of the playground and surrounding spaces (f3), and the requirement of trees, houseplants and drinking fountains around the playground (f4). Additionally, the difference in perspective on the necessity of external space educational environment elements was confirmed according to the students' affiliated school, grade, and gender. These results are judged to be used as basic data when creating an external space in elementary school.
